Serving Suggestion

Serve with a mixed green salad and your favorite fresh fruit to round out the meal.

The recipe calls for "Old World Sauce..." with no specific amount to put in or what the sauce even is. My decision was to purchase a spaghetti sauce containg Parmesan & Romano. I then just poured some (probably about 1/2 cup) into the chicken mixture with the drained macaroni. It was just okay, nice & creamy when it came out of the oven but dry when you heat it up as a leftover. I beleive I will try it again without the spaghetti sauce. Husband wasn't impressed with recipe at all.

Part of the directions are actually just to make the macaroni and cheese from the directions on the packaging. The old world sauce refers to the cheese sauce included in the mac n cheese package that you mix in the butter/milk/seasoning packet mixture. You are making the macaroni as directed on the packaging, adding tomato, basil and parmesan. Top with the bread crumbs provided in the package and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese......Easy as that!

A quick google search for "Old World Italian Sauce" will direct you to many results and recipes for a tomato based sauce.
I used a homemade meat sauce, with the meat being well seasoned. It worked really well with the chicken and turned out great!

What is the Old World Sauce? It is not included in the box is it? What size jar is it and is it a jarred spaghetti sauce?

it looks delicious, but I understand the reviewer who couldn't understand. Maybe they're like me and are not familiar with "the Seasoning Mix". Is the Old World ingredient a jarred marinara sauce or what? Is that what they refer to as the Seasoning Mix? Somebody help me so I can make it!

I know I haven't made this recipe yet but do intend to soon. I just had to respond to the last review and ask why the instructions were not clear? They look very clear to me. I enjoy any easy way to prepare a meal during the week and we like the new Kraft Homestyle Macaroni & Cheese dinners, its nice to see recipes with it!

The directions are not clear at all. So I will not even attempt to make this.
